VulgarGrad : Limonchiki

VulgarGrad - “King of Crooks“ album launch tour, at the Gaelic Club (Sydney), 11 July 2009. This song is not on either of VulgarGrad's albums: “King of Crooks“ (2009) or “Popular Street Songs of the Russian Underclass“ (2005). Caught live during their NSW tour. Music for dancing and drinking. It's vodka-fuelled oompah swing ska punk - gulag-style. Here's what Andrew Tanner has to say about this song : “It's a so-called “Odessa“ song, originating in the Jewish Black Sea Port, and limonchiki means “little lemons“. “I can thresh grains, I can thresh them all out, I can turn my pockets inside out and drink vodka. Oh, lemons, my little lemons, you grow in my garden! Oh lemons, my little lemons, you grow on Sonja's balcony!“. I don't understand it, either.“
